Abstract

A semiconductor device comprises a substrate including isolation regions and active regions, and a high-k dielectric layer proximate the substrate. The high-k dielectric layer comprises a mixture formed by annealing at least one high-k material and at least one metal to oxidize the metal. The semiconductor device comprises a gate electrode proximate the high-k dielectric layer.
